The adventure continues on our Tasman Peninsula trip, as we embark on our main destination, Port Arthur.
This place has many things to be proud of, or should I say "being famous about". Firstly, this place used to be an old prisoner colony, where all the convicts of England are sent to. Many of which form the ancestry line of the current Australians today.
Secondly, the world largest single-man massarce took place right in this place.. A man by the name of Martin Bryant took down 35 lives in a single event during 1996. Interestingly, one of the victims is the uncle of my friend from Malaysia. The guy was on his holiday that day, with his mistress.. Yes...!!
Thirdly, Port Arthur is soon to be classified as a World Heritage site, a recognition shared by famous locations such as the Cradle mountain and Gordan river.
I shan't blabber much further... Let the pictures do the telling of these marvellous place.
